Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

When last amending legislation was being considered in this regard, is it the case that it ran into difficulty as the commission had sought from the Government a legal definition of "friend", which was not forthcoming at that time? Given the term "friend" has very much occupied the Taoiseach's thoughts for some considerable time, has he been able to advance the proposition and is the Government now in a position to offer a legal definition of "friend"?
